Apocalypse Gachapon-Chapter 21: Obtaining job

The needle spun between the fire red and golden-yellow colors and it made Ye Zhongming’s heart beat up and down.

A job was really attractive to anyone and naturally, Ye Zhongming was not an exception. As the wheel did not reveal the exact information, so he was nervous and excited about what he would get next.

Would it be Marksman? That was the job he was most familiar with. If he could get it, his strength would greatly increase at a really fast speed. Would it be the strong summoning type? Or the stylish magic type? Or the cool Warrior? Or the tanky Paladin? Hunter? Assassin? Fighter? Mechanic? Car King?

In the past, he saved up for a long time to exchange for the job book of a marksman and also took up huge debt to get the job ascension scroll. He sold himself in a team and worked and killed for others. In the end, he died in a mission.

Now, something that he had to pay a huge price previously to obtain was right in front of him so how could he not be emotional?

The needle started to slow down and Ye Zhongming stared right at it. Finally, it stopped at the red region.

The three colored gachapon clicked and something fell out. That sound was as beautiful as a celestial’s voice.

Ye Zhongming reached out to open the box. At this point, he realised that his hands were shaking.

In the box was a red colored certificate that gave off a gentle fiery glow that dyed his face red.

He touched it for a long time before flipping it open. Like opening a high quality screen, a line of words appeared.

“Congratulations, you obtained the job-- Glory Smith!”

Ye Zhongming’s body shook and he lay weakly on the gachapon. After which he was stunned and started to laugh to himself.

As he laughed, suddenly some liquid flowed out from the corner of his eyes. The warmth flowed down his still smooth face and left a mark.

The comparison between the last and current life was so clear. This giant gap made Ye Zhongming think back to what happened previously. Many blur scenes became clear now. Many feelings that he had forgotten also spurted out from his heart once more.

Toughness, trouble, difficulties, terror, nightmare, confusion, bloodthirst, greed, numbness, was it going to be the same in this life?

He raised up the certificate. This time his gaze became brighter and brighter. In this life, he was going to live another way.

Maybe a certain god created all this, or rather some boss was controlling all this. The earth became a test subject and an online game. Even if he revived, he was still a chess piece.

This caused indescribable rage to rise up in Ye Zhongming’s heart.

Right. Maybe he was a chess piece. In his last life, he didn’t amount to much and ended up back in the dirt. This life he was a chess piece but he wouldn’t let it be the same as the last! Even if he was a chess piece, he would be the strongest one! He also wanted to jump out of the board to see who was playing him and playing the earth!

Don’t let me catch you!

Ye Zhongming swore and crushed the job certificate.

The thing in his hands changed and turned into a job badge and an old fragrant goat leather scroll.

Ye Zhongming was familiar with these two things. The badge was the symbol of a job and each job had a different badge. These not only represented what your job was, they also showed your level and your familiarity as well as ascension requirements.

Job level goes from Beginner, to basic, intermediate and high grade. Of course, there was also Master, Grandmaster and Extraordinary. Those were just legendary tiers. Ye Zhongming only heard of the eight star evolved captain mentioning them.

As for skill familiarity, it had a direct relationship between how many times you used it, the quality and how much you comprehend your job skills. As for the ascension requirements, it was much simpler, once it reached the max of your current level, you can use the ascension scroll to increase your level.

As for the contract scroll, it was more important. This ancient fragrant scroll was a contract. To get the job, one had to make an oath to obtain the job. The oath of each job was different.

Apart from that, the scroll would record what made each job special. There was also relevant information. It was similar to the introductory book.

These two things formed the apocalypse job. When trading, these were what you used to trade.

Smith? 𝘣𝑒𝑑𝘯𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭．𝑜𝘳𝘨

Ye Zhongming was stunned when she looked at the job and disappointment flashed across his face.

That was because this was a support job and it couldn’t increase combat strength and skills. For Ye Zhongming who wanted badly to increase his strength, of course, he wouldn’t be satisfied.

But Ye Zhongming had heard of this job before and it should be a decent one out of the support jobs. One could create good weapons and equipment. In the last life there were famous Smiths and what they created was snatched to buy. Ye Zhongming’s sniper rifle was modified and it was twice stronger than the original. With his marksman job, that allowed him to deal huge damage far above his level.

Thinking about it, Ye Zhongming felt much better. Although he didn’t get a primary job, but the Smith was not bad. Once he gained levels, it would help increase his combat strength.

But what did Glory mean? When he got the marksman and warrior jobs he didn’t have such a prefix.

He wanted the answer so he had to swear to take on this job. Ye Zhongming didn’t hesitate and he opened the contract scroll. He dripped a few drops of blood. The scroll flashed and a warm power activated in Ye Zhongming’s mind.

Ye Zhongming who had a similar experience knew that this was a sign of mental strength activating.

If a job caused you to have relevant abilities, then using these abilities would consume mental strength. Without it, you wouldn’t be able to use the job skills.

After this power calmed down, Ye Zhongming took the badge and took a look. The unassuming badge became translucent and there were some changes.

Ye Zhongming looked at this change and his expression became weird.

Why did this badge look so weird? The badge was like a spinning wheel with five regions that were split up. Each region had different colors and they wrote the words: Beginner!

Ye Zhongming understood what this meant. It represented that his Smith rank was beginner but what did the five regions of beginner mean? His last badge only had one region and only had one beginner word.

Was this the meaning of Glory?

Ye Zhongming continued to look at these words. Each region had a row of words, the color and background were similar and there was a line of arabic numbers: 0/100

This meant skill familiarity. Reaching 100 would mean that you would reach the peak of the current grade and could advance to the next one.
